We all need to stop living in the past.
The trends of 20-30 years ago are no longer the trends of today.

Roe v Wade was a trend?

There's a ton of valid excuses, actually.

Yes, but the trends of today aren't necessarily better.

The problem is that Americans specifically and Western cultures in general have pushed the concept of "progress" as a form of indoctrination - the idea that everything is slowly getting better, and that all of human history has basically just been one slow ladder climb upwards towards perfection (with "today" being the best things have ever been, and "tomorrow" will be better). But that's literally not how the world works, and it's never been how the world works.

Some things get better. Some things get worse. Some things get better for some people and worse for others. And even defining what IS "better" or "worse" is a social construct that changes over time, and which we mostly define based solely on our own upbringing. There is no objective morality, only what we've basically been socialized with (aka programmed with) from birth. No matter how much any of us may think we're an individual who makes all our own life choices and can determine "right" and "wrong" for ourselves, we're ALL the products of our environment and upbringing. We are ALL the sum of our societal programming.

Progress is a myth. There is only here and now, and everything else is defined based on how it compares to here and now.

New things are not bad.
There are some good new things.
There are some bad new things.
Same can be said for old things.
Having a populist take on everything is extremely depressing.

So... some trends of 20-30 years ago are worth hanging on to, while others are not? It's interesting how that's the philosophy most people do actually approach their life with.

So what you're saying is you're more of a "The Best Time" man than you are a "There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" man

I'm more of a "Time Enough at Last" sort of man.
